I would like to start this blog with gratitude to my wonderful room moms for another amazing holiday experience for our children! The kids thoroughly enjoyed their Valentine’s Party and activities. The hot fudge sundaes were a huge hit!! In fact, I was having so much fun watching them that I completely forgot to take pictures! The thing I loved most about this celebration was how much my students (your sweet children) truly love each other. This class is one of a kind and I am very thankful to all of you for your amazing parenting and for sharing your children with me.

I would also like to express thanks for the valentine’s cards and gifts I received. You are all so thoughtful and generous! I definitely have a years worth of chocolate 🙂

This is our last week of February and there are a few things things happening, as well as many things coming soon! We have our book fair this week. There will NOT be a preview day, but the kids brought home flyers and a note telling you that our buying day is Thursday. So if you would like for your children to purchase books, please send money with them on Thursday.

The Howard Staff will be finalizing details for March Is Reading Month at our staff meeting on Monday. Information should be coming home at the end of this week 🙂

Ms. Minier, Ms. Schug and I are also finalizing plans for our One Room Schoolhouse field trip in April and Oakwoods Nature Park in May.

We don’t know what kind of crazy weather we are going to have in Michigan this winter, but please send snow boots even if there is not much snow because the kids will not be let off the blacktop due to muddy conditions either if they do not have boots.

I hope everyone had a wonderful week of relaxation! I’m looking forward to seeing the kids again 🙂
